Summer is a great time to bake cookies with your homeschooled children. Baking cookies is a fun and delicious way to keep math skills fresh by reviewing fractions, measuring, and following instructions.

With practice, your child may even want to enjoy some healthy competition by entering cookies in the local 4-H county fairs or other community opportunities held during the summer. My grandmother was certainly proud of her granddaughter when she won a purple ribbon with her recipe for chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. You can try making them, too. Purple ribbon or not, it’s sure to be a winner at your house!

For many years, if you would have suggested playing a board game with your upper elementary or junior high children, there’s a pretty good chance you would have gotten a response like, “More like bored games.” However, the fact is that board games have come a long way since the emergence of Candy Land and Monopoly. In fact, with many of the games that have become available, you may find that you enjoy these games for ages 8 and up just as much as (or more than) your kids do!...

The wear and tear on our house was one thing I never considered when we first began to homeschool. Because we lived at home 24 hours a day, everything from the plumbing to the carpet took an extra beating. My husband regularly came home from work and found a frustrated wife with a request to fix another worn out or broken "whatever" in our house. After several years of homeschooling, we both came to the realization that our dream for a showcase house was simply not going to happen....

When we first started homeschooling, receiving support and encouragement from other homeschooling families was crucial. Without it, we might have given up in our attempts to teach our children at home. However, as time went on with our small homeschooling support group, I noticed there seemed to be one or two families who always wanted someone else to do the work of homeschooling for them. They loved their children and the idea of homeschooling, but they repeatedly left their children in someone else's care or advocated having other homeschooling families educate their children in a co-op class. Although I was happy to help, I realized later that these families were simply taking advantage of others. When the problem repeatedly robbed my family of the care and homeschooling they deserved, I said "no" more often....

Do you ever feel like you haven't accomplished a thing at the end of your homeschooling day? Do you look around and see even more piles of projects to finish and messes to clean up than when you started? Have your children learned a new set of multiplication tables today, but they've entirely forgotten the historical facts they learned about George Washington yesterday? Some days you may wonder if you can be your children's teacher. Maybe they would be better off if they went to school. Stop! Think about what just went through your mind. From where are those thoughts coming? Are they from the One who called you to teach your children and promised you the strength to do it, or are they from the one who would see you fail?...
